You just never know where your words are going to end up!

I was on Twitter chatting with a friend and I told her about my daughter and something she had said when she was a young child. She'd drawn a picture of the family but her younger sister was missing from the picture. When asked where she was, she replied with a very serious face, "She's still in the pencil, silly." We all erupted in laughter because she was such a funny little thing.

Well, Dr Lynn Dorman Phd, an American Psychologist was in the process of writing her e-book, "You can totally screw up as a mom and still raise great kids!" She sent me a direct message asking if she could use that quote in her e-book.

Well, surprise, surprise, her e-book is finished and there is Sarah's quote on Page 84.

I love the thought that a 70 year old woman would take the time to share her wisdom with the younger generations. There is just something very special about our Elders and it touches my heart when they desire to reach out and pass on what they know.

Here is some info about the E-book, just in case you are interested in the book.



Dr Lynn Dorman, a 70 year old New Yorker with a Ph.D. in Psychology and a law degree is the author of "You can totally screw up as a mom and still raise great kids!"


She says, "I managed years of teaching, doing therapy and psychological evaluations, and engaging in developmental research. I wrote some textbooks, got married, had a son, got divorced and through it all kept playing sports and keeping my sense of humor and of the absurd. [Which was sorely needed at times as I practiced law in the area of child abuse and neglect.]"


She also goes on to say that if she, a fully qualified psychologist with all her years of practical and theoretical experience, can make mistakes, why are you expecting yourself to be the perfect parent?


Lynn writes a completely practical, at times very insightful, expose of life as a parent and addresses the questions for which most parents are desperate for reassurance and answers.


Her wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of service, her humour and candidness are worth far more than the cost of this e-book.


Highly recommended as an easy read with tools that will help you to discover the answers to those questions that are most pressing in relation to parenting.
